They have been very responsive and helpful as I am new to this. Very professional and helpful as well. Getting my weaver manual press tomorrow. No dies to use so I guess I will just stare at it for awhile!

Is that customary?

Where can I get some shell cordovan leather for some watch straps and wallets. I am in the Chicago area can I or do I need to go to horween????

its Tom that gets all the credit...I just gave some measurements...he worked hard on this and everyone should appreciate it.. these will make nice tapered straps that are not easy to come by! PS..my diemaker texas custom dies did BLESS the drawings saying all the lines were smooth and plotted well to make the dies.. so there!

a lot of youtube videos that give different angles to making the straps..the key is the lug size fitting snug on the watch and the buckle fit... cutting, a little skiving some sewing and edge finishing... it is a lot of fun and rewarding with the final product.. -
this is my third watch strap...cut out from Blackriverlaser templates..lined with pigskin horween leather sewn with my new Techsew 2750 pro..thanks Ron for getting me going on that..

Tom is the best....thank you...!!!!

Would you be willing to draw up a simple wallet if I send it to you. I will have clicker does made from it?

I made a mistake not asking for the most common watch strap size. Would it be hard to make a 20mm tapering to 18 mm strap just like the ones you made last week. What program did you use? I could try to do it myself. Sorry but I didn't know that the die maker would not alter anything that you send them. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Greg

the taper is always tricky...now it should be easy I have clicker dies ordered for these and can't wait to get clicking.. I will have a weaver manual clicker press soon as well.....
-
Wow. Those look great. I will print them out and get on it. Thank you so much! I hope I can return the favor some day.

sorry...I left that out...110 mm will work..as long as the ends stay a constant width for a distance it gives me wiggle room to fold over where I want and make it longer or shorter the holes are 7mm apart center to center...thanks again with that in mind the strap with the holes should be 140mm before folded over not 130..sorry

I recently started making watch straps and would like to have some clicker dies made but I need some patterns of tapered watch straps to send in to get them made. I think if I make them myself that the dies may not come out as nice as I want. Can anyone help? thank you for your consideration
